in The various states that have at some
time or other had it upon their statue
books will show that where it has been
a failure the real cause thereof is en-
bodied in the last condition above cited;
that whenever a respectable majority
of the voters of any community held
anta-saloon views there was but COM
paratively little difficulty in enforcing
anti-saloon doctrines; that whenever q
community gave it an alleged trial by
voting anti-license for a single year by
a bare majority and failed to prevent
the covert sale of liquor the failure
was due to the liquor element engineer
ing the election of a board of supervi-
sors whose members were either in SYM
patty with the saloons, or were afflicted
with that not uncommon species of
moral cowardice which puts selfish con-
siderations of personal convenience
above that of duty to their fellow iti-
zens; that state Prohibition was but
the natural result of successful local
Prohibition in a large proportion of the
towns and cities in the states adopting
the same; and that the principal cause
why the local option law has not been
more successful in this state within the
last few years may be accounted for,
partly by the suicida! opposition of the
third party Prohibitionists, and partly
in certain unfavorable impressions
lodged in the minds of the people by
various conditions in the enforcement
of the law-which could easily be over
come by the legislature granting the
privilege of voting for prohibition by
counties, and at the same time provid-
ing for the rigid enforcement of such
laws by the county's executive officer,
the sheriff, with comp etent deputy in
every town. BoETHIUs.

Senator Frye's Grip on Figures.

Senator Frye has prodigious grasp
on figures. Anybody who has heard
him make speech remembers how
rapidly the statistics roll off his tongue
without the aid of memoranda of ANY
sort.
When the Senator and his wife
started for Washington this winter, the
baggage master gave him four ordinary
checks. The Senator glanced at them
hastily and put them in his pocket.
When they neared Boston something
led the Senator TO remark TO Mrs Frye
and "a friend who sat in the car with
them: Il think can tell you the num-
bers of the four checks in my pocket. al
though have not looked at them since
| started. They are numbered 675,
1.019, 2.462 and SO.
On pulling the checks from his trousers
pocket the Senator found them number
ed just as he had said.

The Mining Prospector.

THE queerest thing IN the whole
mining business 10 me, said bright
eyed and talkative passenger from the
West named Eastman, lis the pros
pector. l should think some good
writer could take up the prospector and
make hero of him. or put him in
play as the central figure. the typical
prospector is certainly study. He
comes into town all excited; he flies 80
high he can hardly touch the ground
with his feet His face is radiant, and
he can hardly abstain from talking with
everyone he meets. Finally he picks
out a well-to-do citizen, takes him aside
and whispers in his ear:
1--we struck her. Struck her rich
this time. Got her sure A big lead;
sure fortune. All want is chance to
show her up. Say, grub-stake me and
Eli give you half. It's q fortune for
both OF us, and no mistake.
Probably this citizen doesn't put up
the grub-stake. He has heard the same
story before. But somebody does-a
grub-stake, you know. is an outfit for
working a mining claim. consisting
chiefly of food to keep the prospector
going while at work digging-and
away he goes, hopping and skipping,
into the mountains.
'In few months he returns. His
plumage hangs between his legs, as it
were He looks sheepish and shame
faced. He sneaks around the camp
few hours and finally mus,ers up enough
courage to 90 TO his hacker and report
the failure Of the claim.
''ln few weeks or months the same
performance is gone through with
again. Again he is just as confident as
he was before, just as radiant. quite as
sure that he has struck her-struck her
at last, and big at that, by gosh.' He
gets another grub-stake. and fairly flies
with wings into the mountains. A few
more months and he is back again. just
rs shamefaced as he was the other time,
quite us crestiallen. In this way he
goes on year after year. Why, | know
men of this sort who have been engaged
in that way for ten or twelve years.
Two or three times year they are rich
aud as many times poor. Hope seems
eternnllv springing from their breasts.
They are. no less confident when they
think they have struck rich thing than
they were as tenderfeet-no less radiant
or extravagant in their promises. Most
men would, after six or eight years of
this sort of thing, lose little of their
buoyancy. ut least tone themselves down
little. But not SO with the prospector.
He goes on and on. hunting for grub
stakes, winning fortunes in his mind
aud losing them, in fact, until death
comes to his relief. - Chicago Herald

is it not rather the antagonism gener-
ated on the part of the property holder
against the person because he has to

A COIored Journalist.

A Paris correspondent of the New
York Graphic writes: Among the Paris
journalists who have recently gone
over to the majority" may be mentioned
Felix Belly and Victor Cochinat, a man
of color. The former is said to have
owned his start in live to a pun on his
name.
When Belly was introduced to DR..
Veron, the latter replied to a request for
employment that the positions on the
Constitutional were all filled and that
there was no room for the aspirant to
journalistic honors. Roqueplan, who
had chaperoned Belly ON the occasion.
remarked to the editor-in-chief that he
ought not to lose an opportunity of en-
livening his somewhat heavy columns
and that the engagement of his friend
would have that effect.
How SOP" asked Vernon.
why, in that case you could print
every day ut the bottom of the fourth
page. Belly. gerant' (belligerenO. bel
ligerant" 'Gerant." is the technical
term for manager"
Veron laughed, and promised to give
the gentleman with the warlike name .
chance to distinguish himself.
An incurable nighthawk, this dusky
'homme de lettress" was always the
last to leave the drinking-shop in the
Faubourg Montmartre most frequented
by the reporters and editors of the news
papers in the neighborhood. Cochinat
could never be induced to leave the
place until the walters were putting up
the last shutter. and he thus gained the
sobrlquet suggested, doubtless, by his
West Indiana birth-of 'Toussaint is
Fermeture."
1t was while contributing to the Petit
journal that Cochnat spent the hap
piest years of his life. An active news
gatherer, he knew how to please his
editor-a remunerativc faculty that Sc
cured him handsome salary. He came
out especially strong on the occasion of
celebrated trials. attending all the sit
tings of the court, and giving to his re-
ports a peculiar and racy flavor. The
TrOpmann murders were rich placers
for the law reporters, and when the
bodies were discovered in the Langlois
field all Paris was paralyzed. the dailies
devoting three entire columns out of
their total OF sixteen or twenty to the
narrowing details.
As the reporters had all netted small
fortunes from the case, they made it q
point to go to see Tropmann hanged.
On the way back Cochinat met Nazet,
of the Gauiots. Taking him by the arm,
and in voice tremulous with emotion,
the witty scribe remarked:
my dear fellow, we have lost him."
The best mot have heard attributed
to this sable journalist was his reply to
a celebrated member of the bar, and one
of the ugliest men in Paris.
Meeting Cochinat on one occasion,
and presuming to perpetrate some of
the commonplace jokes based ON the
writer's dark skin and ''crinky' hair,
the latter, looking straight at him. re-
piled:
Dear master, my father was mulat-
to. my grandfather negro, and my
great-grandfather monkey. You per-
ceive that after all. we belong to the
same race!'

The marriage of Mr.. Reuben French
| and Miss Naomi Thomas at the home Of
the brides parents in the town of Bee
town, on the 10th of January, 1887, was
solemnized by G. B. Wheeler, Esq, OF
Lancaster, in the presence of many
friends of the two families, Numerous
valuable, useful and ornamental pres
ents were bestowed with the good wishes
of the friends of this worthy young
couple. Not the least of these presents,
and one which attracted the most atten-
ton, was the sumptuous dinner provided
by Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Thomas in
honor of their daughters marriage and
for the good cheer of the guests, who to
the number of 100 had been invited.
More than ninety sat at the tables and
were satisfied. The little ones at home,
the absent and the sick were remembered
with numerous parcels of goodies, and
still as many more might have had their
fill. The occasion served not only as q
family reunion, but friends who seldom
meet each other were here brought to-
gether under most pleasant surround
ings, and this will be a day long remem-
bered by the majority of those who were
present. Three physicians were present.
and they paid no more heed to dietary
measures or hygienic rules than the rest
of us. The Squire thought this was a
gala day for the sick-so many of them
would have rest while the doctors
were feasting. The doctors retaliated
by saying that this marriage was illegal
because the Squire didn't pray. Mrs.
Wheeler said that the Squire offered his
prayer in a snow-drift on the road. This
was deemed satisfactory evidence that
the marriage was binding, and the
newly married pair started for Dubuque,
by way of Cassyille. followed by the
good wishes of all the company. Mr..
Frenchi is prosperous young blacksmith,
and after the wedding tour is ended he
will settle down to work in the thriving
village of Beetown. In the mean time
MIR. Sam Birch, whose hands have grown
soft and white while he raked in the
hard-to-earn and hard-to-borrow dollars
of the poor taxpayer, has laid aside his
pen and grasped the tongs and hammer,
and is often seen to gaze in meditative
sortof way at the palms of his hands.
